American Student visitors

We have had six American students in our school for two weeks.

They are from Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Today at assembly they told us about where they are from and a litle bit about their lives back home.

Did you know that Orkney would fit into Wisconsin 166 times?

 Some of the students come from small towns and others from bigger cities.

 Perhaps you have heard of the famous American football team, 'The Green Bay Packers'.

They won the Superbowl!

Wisconsin is famous for dairy produce so we all learned the Wisconsin Milk Song!
